  • Episode 57 - The Great California Truth Enema
    In this episode of The Crusher, hosts Josh Brewster and Susan Olsen delve into the complexities of political friendships, the rise of political vitriol, and the public perception of figures like Elon Musk. Joined by LA Mayor Karen Bass and Congressman Brad Sherman, Trump confronts California’s failures to its face, delivering overdue and truthful remarks that needed to be said. Not unlike an enema, his remarks are long overdue. They discuss his address at the World Economic Forum, highlighting the contrast between his promises and the media's portrayal. The conversation emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability in government, while also reflecting on the humor and absurdity present in today's political landscape. Susan and Josh explore a range of topics from environmental concerns and political negotiations to the implications of climate change and the weaponization of compassion in modern politics. They delve into historical predictions regarding MLK, JFK and RFK, discuss the evolving landscape of Hollywood representation, and analyze the future of Middle Eastern relations under potential new agreements.

  • Episode 54 - 2025: New Year Reboot
    Susan and Josh reconvene to discuss changes afoot as the world welcomes 2025. The world embraces freedom, rejects woke culture, asserts the value of borders. Media says fissures in MAGA movement but we don’t buy it. Derangement syndrome seems to wane. Homan rides in to rescue the border, while Musk and Ramaswamy get set to unleash DOGE. New Dylan biopic looks like a winner, though neither Josh nor Susan can stomach the Oscars. Is anyone buying bird flu? Why 45/47 is not Mr. Burns.

  • Episode 53 - Fentanyl: Death Incorporated - Guest Dr Robert Marbut
    Over the past 5 years, more Americans have died from fentanyl than have died in combat during all wars combined from 1939 to present. The explosive new film, “Fentanyl: Death Incorporated” exposes America’s greatest threat. From China, Mexico, Canada, and in the USA, this synthetic drug is ruining lives. Tiny amounts can kill thousands. Poisonings run rampant. “Harm reduction” is anything but. Is America serious? Is China waging war without firing a shot? Is this the Mexican Cartels’ endgame? Super labs in Canada emerge, but will domestic production overtake what flows across our (open) border? Dr. Robert Marbut is the producer of Stephen Wollwerth’s important new documentary.

  • Episode 51 - Freedom Wins
    Election of Donald Trump as 47th President of the US saves freedom for not only the US but the world. Country proves to be not as far to the left as thought. Snowflake tears flow, but Democracy survives. Latino and African-American voters swing to Republicans in proportions that take Democrats by surprise. Media salves its wounds by blaming racism and sexism but refuses to look in the mirror and face what the open border and inflation hath wrought. Josh and Susan discuss the celebrities who promised to leave the US. Bette Midler says pass the Drano. So much for the “end of Democracy” as America chooses to pivot from the hard left that Harris represented.
